This application relates to the technical field of smart cars, and in particular to a vehicle air-conditioning control method, a vehicle air-conditioning control system and a device.

Background technique

With the rapid development of today's society, people's living standards are improving day by day, and personal health issues are getting more and more attention and attention. Among them, because air quality directly affects people's health in all aspects of life, preparing targeted protective words by paying attention to air quality has become a main way for people to ensure a healthy daily life.

For example, nowadays people will pay attention to the air quality data such as PM2.5 of the day and decide whether to open the windows, so as to avoid indoor air pollution from outside air. However, this approach is more suitable for indoor environments such as bedrooms, offices, etc. These places are fixed locations and the surrounding environmental conditions change less. People indoors can use mobile phones or computers to locate and check outdoor PM2.5 conditions at any time between work. Then decide whether to open the window according to the current environmental conditions.

For drivers traveling by car, they will pass through different areas during the driving process, and the external environment will also have different changes. For example, some areas have power generation industrial equipment, and the surrounding air quality is compared with that without industrial equipment. Areas will be worse. In some areas, there are traffic jams or more vehicles. A large number of vehicle exhaust emissions will also cause poor surrounding air quality. At this time, if you continue to open the windows or turn on the air conditioner to use the outside air to circulate the interior of the car, then It will cause the air in the car to be easily polluted and affect the health of the driver and passengers.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, existing vehicles are usually equipped with air-conditioning devices that can adjust the internal air circulation/outside air circulation. When the vehicle is located in a place with serious external air pollution, the user can manually set the air conditioner to the internal air circulation mode to reduce the pollution of the external air to the interior air of the vehicle.

However, the problem with this method is that, on the one hand, the driver tends to focus on driving during driving, and therefore cannot switch the internal and external circulation in time, resulting in pollution of the air in the cabin, and in many cases only the driver It’s difficult to judge whether the air quality inside or outside the car is good or bad. On the other hand, if the driver needs to manually open and close the windows or adjust the car air conditioner frequently according to the air condition during driving. The running mode will distract the driver, which is unfavorable for safe driving.

It can be seen that how to ensure the driver's driving standards while avoiding the influence of the external environment on the air in the vehicle compartment during the driving process has become an urgent problem to be solved in the prior art.

Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the vehicle air conditioner control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the execution body of the method may be a vehicle computer, or the execution body of the method may also be a vehicle air conditioner control system composed of a vehicle air conditioner and related control component groups. The execution subject does not constitute a limitation to the application. For ease of description, the embodiments of the present invention are described by taking the execution subject as an on-board computer as an example.

The specific implementation flow diagram of this method is shown in Fig. 1, which mainly includes the following steps.

Step 11: Collect environmental data, and determine the outside air pollution index based on the collected environmental data.

In the embodiment of the present application, the on-board computer can directly collect environmental data around the car through the equipment installed on the car. For example, it can collect environmental data through the air detection device and the image acquisition device installed on the car; In addition, the on-board computer can also obtain environmental data from other nearby vehicles through the inter-vehicle communication device.

In one embodiment, the on-board computer can collect environmental data in the following three ways.

Method a: Based on the image acquisition device, collect the image of the environment outside the vehicle.

In the process of vehicle driving, air pollution sources on the road are often caused by specific vehicles, specific buildings, specific road conditions, and specific activities. For example, muck trucks, garbage trucks, and other large transportation vehicles may generate dust during the driving process, which may cause air pollution on the road after the vehicle passes. In addition, large factories or chimneys near the road will also generate a lot of harmful gases. Causes air pollution; and when vehicles pass some dirt roads or gravel roads, a large amount of dust will also be generated, which affects the air quality on the road; in addition, activities such as sacrifices, fireworks, and bonfires can also cause air pollution.

Based on the above-mentioned pollution sources that may cause road air pollution, the above-mentioned pollution source images that may cause air pollution can be pre-stored on the on-board computer, and the subsequent on-board computer can be collected by image collection equipment (such as a surround-view binocular camera installed on the vehicle) The environmental image around the vehicle, and by comparing the similarity between the collected environmental image and the pre-saved pollution source image, to judge the air quality around the vehicle.

For example, an image of a muck truck is collected in front of the vehicle through a binocular camera set on the vehicle, and the image of the muck truck is uploaded to the on-board computer. The on-board computer uses the surrounding images collected by the camera to compare with the pre-saved images. The pollution source images are compared, and it is determined that the images currently collected by the camera belong to the pollution source images, and then the on-board computer can determine that the current outside air quality is poor.

In one embodiment, when the on-board computer receives the image of the outside environment based on the image acquisition device, the on-board computer can determine the air quality around the vehicle in the following way: the collected image of the outside environment is stored in advance. The pollution environment image of the vehicle is compared and analyzed, and the outside air quality index is determined according to the similarity between the image of the environment outside the vehicle and the pre-stored image of the pollution environment.

Method b: Collect air data outside the car and air quality information data inside the car based on the air quality detection device.

Specifically, the air quality information data inside and outside the vehicle can be collected through the air quality provided inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle, respectively. In the embodiment of the present application, the collected air quality information data may include, but is not limited to, PM2.5 value, PM10 value, whether there are harmful gases, carbon dioxide content, and so on. It should be noted here that the air quality detection device pre-installed in and outside the car can be one or a combination of PM2.5 detector, PM10 detector, cigarette detector, organic compound detector, etc., to pass The air quality detection device measures air quality information data inside and outside the vehicle.

Method c: Obtain environmental data shared by other vehicles based on the inter-vehicle communication device.

In the embodiments of the present application, the vehicle can implement wireless communication between vehicles through a pre-installed communication module based on vehicle-to-X (V2X) technology.

Among them, V2X can mean vehicle to everything, which refers to the communication between the vehicle and its peripheral equipment, that is, the exchange of information between the vehicle and the outside world. X can include vehicle terminals, roadside fixed terminals, servers and other equipment. V2X makes the vehicle and the vehicle , Car and base station, base station and base station can communicate. This allows the vehicle to obtain a series of traffic-related information such as real-time road conditions, road information, pedestrian information, and environmental information from other vehicles and base stations, so as to better assist the driver in driving and improve driving safety.

When communicating based on V2X technology, a temporary vehicle network can be established. Each terminal can establish wireless communication through the V2X communication module. The wireless communication technology follows the IEEE802.11P protocol. V2X communication modules within a certain distance threshold (such as 300-1000 meters) can establish a temporary network, and each V2X communication module can perform wireless communication to share driving data, road information and road environment data.

In addition, it should be noted that, in order to further improve the communication efficiency between the vehicle and the peripheral equipment, in this solution, the car networking wireless communication technology designed based on 5G technology, namely 5G-V2X technology, can be used to realize the inter-vehicle communication based on 5G network technology. The data communication between the vehicle association and the base station can ensure higher data transmission efficiency and greatly reduce communication delay, so that it can better serve intelligent driving through the 5G-V2X module.

In one embodiment, a vehicle installed with V2X can establish a temporary network with the vehicle terminal of a moving vehicle within a certain distance threshold range and roadside fixed terminal through the V2X communication module based on the V2X technology. For example, the vehicle can communicate with the fixed terminal on the roadside through the V2X communication module. A temporary network is established for other vehicle terminals of vehicles traveling within 1000 meters. After the temporary network is established, the vehicles on the temporary network can interact with each other. For example, the first vehicle can collect the surrounding environment through the air quality detection device to determine the air quality information data near the road. Assuming that the currently collected air quality information is: "severe pollution", then the first vehicle can communicate through V2X The module shares the collected air quality information data through the established temporary network, and then a second vehicle that is in the temporary network and is 1 km away from the first vehicle can receive the air quality information data shared by the first vehicle. Furthermore, it can be determined that the air quality of the road section after one kilometer is poor.

In the embodiment of the present application, the on-board computer can collect environmental data in any of the above-mentioned ways, or the on-board computer can also collectively collect environmental data through a combination of the above-mentioned multiple ways.

The on-board computer can analyze the collected environmental data to determine the air pollution index of the current road section. For example, the on-board computer can comprehensively analyze and determine the number of surrounding pollution sources collected by the image collection device, the PM2.5 value of the surrounding air collected by the air quality detection device, and the environmental data obtained from other vehicles via the V2X communication module. The air pollution index of the road section where the vehicle is currently located. Specifically, the method for determining the air pollution index based on these parameters belongs to a relatively mature related technology, so the method of determining the air pollution index by the on-board computer is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 12: Adjust the operation mode of the vehicle air conditioner according to the air pollution index determined by executing step 11.

In one embodiment, according to the determined air pollution index, the on-board computer can adjust the on-board air conditioner in the following ways.

Method a: Adjust the operating mode of the car air conditioner to the internal circulation mode, and control the car windows to close.

When it is determined by performing step 11 that the air pollution index outside the vehicle is higher than the preset air quality index threshold, it means that the current vehicle is driving through an area with severe air pollution. In order to avoid pollution of the air inside the vehicle by pollutants outside the vehicle, the on-board computer can Control the car air conditioner to adjust the operating mode to the internal circulation mode, and control the car windows to close. The so-called internal circulation mode closes the airflow channels inside and outside the car, and uses the on-board air-conditioning fan to inhale the airflow inside the car to form an airflow circulation inside the car, which can effectively prevent external dust and harmful gases from entering the car.

In addition, it should be noted that in the internal circulation mode, the internal air and external air of the vehicle cannot circulate and circulate, so the driver and passengers in the car may feel a little discomfort for a long time. In order to avoid the above situation, send it when the on-board computer By performing step 11, it is determined that the air pollution index around the vehicle is low, that is, after the vehicle has driven out of the polluted area, the on-board computer can control the on-board air conditioner to switch modes, specifically, the switch can be performed in the following way b.

Method b: Adjust the operating mode of the car air conditioner to the external circulation mode, and control the opening of the windows.

When it is determined by performing step 11 that the air pollution index outside the vehicle is lower than the preset air quality index threshold, it means that the current vehicle has driven out of the area with severe air pollution, and the on-board computer can control the on-board air conditioner in time to adjust the operating mode to the external circulation mode. And control the opening of the car windows to avoid the problem of poor air in the car caused by the long-term operation of the car air conditioner in the internal circulation mode.

In addition, it should be noted here that after the on-board computer switches the operating mode of the car air conditioner to the internal circulation mode, the on-board computer will start a timer to calculate the duration of the switch to the internal circulation mode. When the on-board computer determines that it is in the internal circulation mode When the running time exceeds the preset time threshold, and the on-board computer receives the environmental data shared by other vehicles in front through the V2X communication module, the air pollution index is also high. In order to avoid the air in the car from being boring and affecting the drivers and passengers in the car, Then the on-board computer can obtain the shared data of other vehicles through the V2X communication module, and then determine a road section with better air quality based on the data shared by other vehicles (when data is shared between vehicles, the current location of the vehicle will be checked. To share, the on-board computer can determine the road section where the shared vehicle is located based on the location information carried in the received shared data), and prompt the driver to switch routes to avoid the current air pollution Road section.

Similarly, when the on-board computer receives the environmental data shared by the vehicle in front through the V2X communication module that the road section ahead is seriously polluted, the on-board computer can switch a route for the driver according to the destination preset by the driver to avoid serious pollution ahead. Road section.
